Pumpkin Chip Muffins

First off, thank you so much for all of you who buzzed my Champagne Truffles into the Foodbuzz Top 9 today!I am so flattered!Thank you, thank you!To show my gratitude, I made you my favorite muffins!

Many people feel that pumpkin is only for fall and pies.Not so!My family and I enjoy these muffins year round.I originally got this recipe from my mom and it was great, but it had a whopping 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of chocolate chips!Super fabulous, but really more of a cupcake than a breakfast muffin.

So I set out to give this muffin a healthy makeover.Here’s the amazing part – I was able to cut over half of the sugar without compromising the delicious flavor of the muffin.Now I can still enjoy my favorite muffins, but with only 99 calories and none of the guilt.
